What is huli huli sauce?

Huli huli sauce is a Hawaiian sauce made from a blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and other spices. The name "huli huli" comes from the Hawaiian term for "turn turn," as the sauce is traditionally used to baste and marinade meat, particularly chicken, while it is being cooked on a rotisserie or grill.

The sauce is sweet, savory, and slightly tangy, with a rich umami flavor from the soy sauce and sesame oil. It is often used as a marinade for meats like chicken, pork, or beef, but can also be used as a dipping sauce or glaze.

Huli huli sauce is a popular condiment in Hawaii and is a key ingredient in traditional Hawaiian barbecue dishes. It is also gaining popularity in other parts of the world for its flavorful and versatile nature.
